UFO appears in 'Street View'

          Richard Heiden sent me a news clipping of a UFO reported on a Web site called Gather.com, on March 7, 2013. He states, "I don't know where this Web site is located," but the headline reads: GOOGLE NEWS: UFO Photobombs Wisconsin Google Street View.
          "A pink UFO was discovered lurking in the background of a Google Street View photo from Wisconsin, by a person who was using the site to look for a new home. There's really no surefire way to tell if this picture is photo-shopped or not, so you pretty much have to take this person’s word for it.
          "This could very well be a fake, but who knows? This wouldn't be the first time that evidence of the paranormal has appeared on Street View. About six months ago, the media reported that a space ship was identified in Google images from Jacksonville, Fla.
          "In the Wisconsin photo, there is a champagne colored craft, in the shape of an isosceles triangle, hovering in the air over several trees. There is no one around, and the photo was snapped during a clear day. What is your opinion? Is this a legitimate UFO sighting, or some computer-generated trickery?
          The house searcher wrote: "Today I was looking at houses for sale. On this site, you can hit street view, so I was looking around the area and there was this amazing pink UFO, I was surprised and thrilled!" the witness stated.
          According to the Mirror, John Lakey, the director of St Louis' (Missouri) McDonnell Planetary Center, was asked by St. Louis news station KPLR what he thought of the captured image of the pink flying craft. "That's almost certainly a lens flare effect. Yeah, it just looks like an artifact from a lens."
          He went on to say that "an alien spacecraft is probably one of the least likely things that an unidentified object would be, just because the distances between stars is just too vast for any kind of realistic travel."
          Mr. Lakey also commented that if it is a flying object, it's unidentified, and that means that it's some object that no one can identify. Well, yeah ...
          The report was dated Jan. 25, 2013, which said that this was the second time a pink UFO had been observed on Street View.
          Thanks for that report, Rich. By the way, Rich Heiden has been collecting UFO reports and published news clippings for many years. I'm actually rather fond of pink UFOs myself as my oldest son, Ryan, photographed one above the San Luis Valley in the mid-'90s with a 35mm camera, and didn't even know how the UFO got on his roll of film. He certainly didn't remember taking the photo, pictured here on the left.


         
New blue planet

          NASA's Hubble space telescope has identified the true color of a planet 63 light years away from Earth, a distant blue marble that, unlike our own planet, has torrential rainstorms of glass. HD 189733b, orbiting star HD 189733, would be seen by human eyes as a striking cobalt blue, the Hubble team says, ostensibly similar to Earth when viewed from space. However, in actual fact, the exoplanet is one of a bizarre collection of "hot Jupiters" where temperatures can reach almost 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit (over 1,000 degrees Celsius).
         It's that extreme temperature -- caused by the planet's very close orbit to the star -- that gives HD 189733b what's perhaps its most unusual feature: its storms of glass. The atmosphere is filled with silicate particles, NASA explains, and when they condense in the tremendously furious heat, they could rain down as tiny droplets of glass. It's the silicate that gives the planet its distinctive color, with the droplets scattering more blue light than red in the visible spectrum. (See http://www.slashgear.com)

This and that

         I visited Arda Golden Eagle Woman when I went to Cedaredge in June to visit son Marty and his family. Arda wrote a column several years ago called "Crystals of Light." It was great to see her again. She is hoping soon to publish her spiritual children's book, Song of the Golden Eagle.
